CHEVROLET BLAZER 1994 2.G Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Use special care with aluminum trim. To avoid damaging protective trim,
never use auto or chrome polish, steam or caustic soap to clean aluminum.
A coating of wax, rubbed to high polish, is recommended for all bright
metal parts.
Aluminum Wheels
Aluminum wheels have a protective coating similar to the painted surface of
your vehicle. Don’t use strong soaps, chemicals, chrome polish, abrasive
cleaners or abrasive cleaning brushes on them because you could damage
this coating. After rinsing thoroughly, a wax may be applied.
I NOTICE:
If you have aluminum wheels, don’t use an automatic vehicle
wash that has hard silicon carbide cleaning brushes. These
brushes can take
off the protective coating.
White Side wa// Tires
Your GM dealer has a GM White Sidewall Tire Cleaner. You can use a stiff
brush with the cleaner.
Weatherstrips
Silicone grease on weatherstrips will make them last longer, seal better, and
not stick or squeak. Apply silicone grease with a clean cloth at least every
six months. During very cold, damp weather more frequent application may
be required. (See “Recommended Fluids
& Lubricants” in the Index.)
Sheet Metal Damage
If your vehicle is damaged and requires sheet metal repair or replacement,
make sure the body repair shop applies anti-corrosion material to the parts
repaired
or replaced to restore corrosion protection.
Foreign Material
Calcium chloride and other salts, ice melting agents, road oil and tar, tree
sap, bird droppings, chemicals from industrial chimneys, and other foreign
matter can damage your vehicle’s finish if they remain on painted surfaces.
Use cleaners that are marked safe for painted surfaces to remove foreign
matter.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Finish Damage
Any stone chips, fractures or deep scratches in the finish should be repaired
right away. Bare metal will corrode quickly and may develop into a major
repair expense.
Minor chips and scratches can be repaired with touch-up materials available
from your dealer or other service outlets. Larger areas
of finish damage can
be corrected in your dealer’s body and paint shop.
Underbody Maintenance
Chemicals used for ice and snow removal and dust control can collect on
the underbody. If these are not removed, accelerated corrosion (rust) can
occur
on the underbody parts such as fuel lines, frame, floor pan, and
exhaust system
even though they have corrosion protection.
At least every spring,
flush these materials from the underbody with plain
water. Clean any areas where mud and other debris can collect. Dirt packed
in closed areas of the frame should be loosened before being flushed. Your
dealer or an underbody vehicle washing system can do this for you.
Chemical Paint Spotting
Some weather and atmospheric conditions can create a chemical fallout.
Airborne pollutants can fall upon and attack painted surfaces
on your
vehicle. This damage can take two forms: blotchy, ringlet-shaped
discolorations, and small irregular dark spots etched into the paint surface.
Although
no defect in the paint job causes this, GM will repair, at no charge
to the owner, the surfaces of new vehicles damaged by this fallout condition
within 12 months or 12,000 miles (20
000 km) of purchase, whichever
comes first.

It’s very helpful if you ever need to order parts. On this label is:
0 your VIN,
the model designation,
0 paint information, and
0 a list of all production options and special equipment.
Be sure that this label is
not removed from the vehicle.
Add-on Lxtrical Equipment
NOTICE:
-
Don’t add anything electrical to your vehicle unless you check
with your dealer first. ,Some electrical equipment can damage
your vehicle and the damage wouldn’t be covered by your warranty. Some add-on electrical equipment can keep other
components from working as they should.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from short circuits by a
combination of fuses, circuit breakers, and fusible thermal links in the
wiring itself. This greatly reduces the chance of fires caused by electrical
problems.
6-60

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Headlights
The headlight wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in the light switch. An
electrical overload will cause the lights to go on and off. If this happens,
have your headlight wiring checked right away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit breaker and a fuse. If
the motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the
motor cools. If the overload is caused by some electrical problem and not
snow, etc., be sure to get it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power windows and other
power accessories. When the current load is too heavy, the circuit breaker
opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the problem
is fixed.
Trailer Wiring Harness
The optional seven-wire trailer wiring harness is protected by an in-line
fuse in the battery feed wire. This fuse is near the junction block. See
“Trailer Wiring Harness” in the
Features & Controls section.
Fuse Block
The fuse block is in
the instrument panel
on the driver’s side.
Remove the cover
with a screwdriver and
then you
can remove
fuses with a fuse
extractor.
6-61

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Be sure to use the
correct fuse.
If you ever have a problem on the road and don’t have a spare fuse, you can
“borrow”
one of the correct value. Just pick some feature of your vehicle
that you can get along without-like
the radio or cigarette lighter-and use
its fuse, if it is
of the value you need. Replace it as soon as you can. See
“Fuses and Circuit Breakers”
in this section.
Capacities and Specification Charts
Replacement Parts
Replacement part numbers listed in this section are based on the latest
information available at the time
of printing, and are subject to change. If a
part listed in this manual is
not the same as the part used in your vehicle
when it was built,
or if you have any questions, please contact your GM
truck dealer.
